Ghost Dog of Roanoke Island
In 1587, 117 colonists disappeared from Roanoke Island, NC,
leaving behind not only unanswered questions, but a terrifying evil.

Now, it's up to twelve year-old Jack Dahlgren to unravel the age-old mystery and save his family from the hateful beast haunting his home.

With the help of newfound friend, Manny, a Native American shaman, and an elusive Giant Mastiff, Jack must piece together the clues to the disappearance of the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island to uncover what really happened. Shrouded in ancient Native American folklore, it's up to Jack to discover what the evil is and why it haunts his island in a horrifying campaign of revenge. But can Jack stop the beast...before it destroys him?

Congratulations and Celebrations!!! *raises glass of Champagne* A toast to your new release 'Ghost Dog of Roanoke Island'. I have bought some fresh pavlova and lamingtons to help with the party. And if you look in the esky, there are a few bottle of strawberry and lime cider tucked away on ice. Help yourself.
We aren't likely to see the ghost dog here today are we?

I can't wait to give a copy of this book to my grandson. When I first heard about it, I asked if he'd like to read it. They had just learned about this Island at school and he knew all about it. Congratulations on your release and Happy Book Birthday. I'd love to win!!!

Well, congratulations on your book birthday! I've never heard of that before, but being a person who loves a good party FOR ANY REASON--I'm in! I'm most anxious to read 'Ghost Dog of Roanoak" too, so here's to curling up with a good mystery, cup of cocoa and being entertained. The only thing better than reading a good book is writing one. Congrats! Kathy

Happy Birthday! I sure hope that darling dog is not the beast. If he is, I know you'll justify his behavior somewhere along the line, right? Sounds like a great read!

Thanks to you both Killarney and Beverly. It was a fun story to write. Such a mystery...what did happen to those 117 colonists? Guess you'll have to read the book to find out. ;-)
Thanks again.

Hi!

I'm a newbie to GoodReads book giveaways but was notified of your book/story/novel giveaway as the Title itself speaks volumes!

We have a book on the Roanoke voyages. An older book. WHY am I saying that? Well, like many, the Roanoke mystery is a favorite of mine. I love real or fiction mysteries. I am ALSO a dog-lover of the highest level whether the dog is "elusive" or not! LOL.

Your creative, new angle fiction story about a boy going on his quest (with a bit of help) to solve this age-old mystery sounds like a fascinating read!

Sorry... I'm *well-known* for being wordy. It has NOTHING to do with winning a copy of your story! Keep writing, keep having fun writing. And thanks for the cupcakes! I took 3. :-)

Lori M

9/24/2011 06:38:53 am

Geeez - I forgot, in my excitement of the story itself, to SAY Congrats on this birthday book of yours being released. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR YOUR BOOK RELEASE/DEBUT!!!! Had to back for a colorful drink anyway. :-)

Hi Joylene, Joyce and Lori. Thanks for stopping by my party! Glad you were able to enjoy some refreshments and toot a horn or two. I'm so glad to see you.
Thanks!
